   Today we get acquainted with the young studio Dark Motif, thanks to an announcement revealing not only their new official website, but also their first project: an adventure game called Adam Syndrome, subliminally hinting at pseudo-history's first man. Only subliminally, because Adam also happens to be the name of the game's main character. Professor Adam Reed, to be more precise, on his quest for answers following a strange chain of occurrences that ends with the sudden and mysterious death of his wife.

   Starting from this scenario, and driven by the tagline "Being the first has its price", the game promises to delve neck-deep into an intricate web of conspiracy and secrets dating back to the very beginnings of mankind (hmm, yet another subliminal hint?). As a respectable "mystery thriller", Adam Syndrome will blend real-life historical facts with provocative fiction, backed by a sombre visual presentation - as also suggested by the first artworks added to our local gallery.

   Throughout the game, Adam will visit around fifteen locations, such as ancient lost cities, futuristic laboratories, underwater complexes or gloomy old cemeteries, totaling over 150 pre-rendered backgrounds and 50 interactive 3D characters, plus all sorts of weather effects and other stuff meant to thicken the atmosphere. The gameplay will be as classic as they come, "point-and-click", with the character being controlled from a third-person perspective.

   The folks from Dark Motif hope to launch their debut game in summer or autumn of 2008.
